Weekend Things

March 3, 2013 by Hillary 13 Comments

Friday.

1. I broke out my new knee-high socks for the “surprise” WOD. Our workouts are always posted online the day before, but Friday was a mystery. I accepted the challenge, dressed as a true member of the CrossFit cult.

I’ll admit I felt a bit ridiculous sporting long socks… at least they saved me from the mosquitos!

3. I completed 130 burpees (4 for warm-up) and lived to tell the story! 

4. My body and mind appreciated the cold beer and steamy jacuzzi after a 40+ hour work week and said ridiculous WOD. 

Saturday.

5. If you didn’t know I am nuts by now, I was at the box for more torture by 10:00am.

6. Scattegories a la nutritional yeast popcorn and new foodie friends will make for a fun night… even for an I-don’t-play-games type of gal. (So Martha Stewart!)

7. When I say foodie, I mean those that bake blood orange beet {almond flour} chocolate cakes! Swoon.

Sunday.

8. My body feels like it was hit by a train. Hmmm, wonder why?

9. I took not one, but TWO naps today. Listen to your body, friends! 

10. Meal prepping is satisfying; it is like completing an assignment in school… except the final product is usually tastier. 

11. I swear I could live off of roasted veggies.

toasted walnuts / tangy homemade vinaigrette  

12. I am denying the fact that Monday comes after Sunday, but at least I’ll have a full pitcher of cold-brewed coffee in my fridge and sunflowers on my table.

How was your weekend?

Knee socks, yay or nay?

    I don’t even know what to say haha. That beet chocolate cake and the roasted veggies look so good…could you taste any beet in the cake?! And I completely agree, roasted veggies are da best. My weekend was good! I started my workouts to complete an ironman in three weeks and did a little salsa dancing and am now studying for upcoming exams! Thanks for sharing all those delicious pics :) Hope you have a great week!

        No no gracious no haha! Our school gym challenged us to complete an Ironman in 3 weeks. My friends and I signed up and we get a t-shirt if we succeed! So I’m breaking it up in 5 mile runs, 15 mile bike rides, and I have no idea how to go about the swimming lol. I can’t imagine doing it in one shot!

    The mosquitoes have been out! The timer on Scattegories stresses me out, but it would be worth trying that blood orange beet cake!

    That first WOD looks miserable… the second one is one I’m writing down to try myself!
    I can’t wait for warmer weather – I am craving cold coffee :)

    Roasted veggies… yum! I just made a pan of Brussels last night. So satisfying and so healthy!

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣
